“I Didn’t Kill Ex-Ondo Deputy Governor’s Daughter” – Suspect

Adeyemi Alao, the boyfriend of late Miss Khadijat Oluboyo, the slain daughter of former Ondo State Deputy Governor Lasisi Oluboyo, has denied involvement in her death.

It would be recalled 25 year old Khadijat, a final year student of Adekunle Ajasin University (AAU), Akungba-Akoko, was found dead over the weekend at the home of her boyfriend in Akure, the state capital.

In a chat with newsmen, Alao denied involvement in Khadijat’s death, saying it was the slain girl who brought two boys into his room, who eventually killed her.

The suspect said he had dated the late Khadijat for four years before they parted ways in 2015, adding that they only reconciled after the last Ramadan celebration.

Alao, who completed his national service under the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) in 2017, said he had no reason to kill her because he hoped to use her father’s connection to get a job. The suspect said the late Khadijat was in his house last Thursday because of her project, which he claimed to be helping her to do. He said they had finished chapter one and her supervisor had approved it, adding that she came for final correction to move to chapter two.

Alao said the girl later traveled to Lagos last Friday to buy some wrist watches but she forgot to drop her project with him and promised to return to school from Lagos.

“Meanwhile, on Saturday, she snapped the soft and hard copies of her project to me on my WhatsApp for correction.

“On Monday, I believed she was already in school when she sent me a text message to send her N2,000. But I was able to send only N1,000. So, I was surprised when I heard a knock on my door later in the day and she entered my room.

She later told me that she wanted to receive some visitors in my place. Few minutes later, she brought two boys in. I was not surprised because that was not her first time of bringing people into my house.

“Later, when they came in, we exchanged greetings and I left them in the room. But after 30 minutes, one of the boys called me in and I discovered he held a small gun in his hand while the other boy was on her, naked.

“I heard Khadijat saying: ‘I will not tell anybody.’ The boy strangled her to death and threatened me not to shout or else they would kill me.

They later forced me to find a digger with which they dug the ground in my room and buried her. They are the ones that killed and buried her. I could not shout after they left because of the implication of what has happened, for I was sure nobody would believe me.

On the fifth day, I was not comfortable anymore. So, I exhumed her body and confided in my younger brother who advised that we should inform our father about the development. It was my father who informed the police before I was arrested.”
